About

Las Vegas post-hardcore marauders Escape the Fate have been stomping and screaming their impassioned brand of melodic brutalism since 2005. Through it all, the unwavering self-belief of the band -- especially frontman Craig Mabbit -- has earned them a tight connection with their fans. "Ungrateful," released in 2013, debuted confidently at No. 2 on the Billboard Hard Rock charts. Escape the Fate has brought their high-energy concert experience to a long list of rock festival ticket buyers across the Western hemisphere. Their juggernaut live performances pour energy into the crowd with wall-of-death mosh pits, and Craig Mabbit’s "stay true to yourself" therapy sessions. Switching between exhortations to go mad in the pits and denying any limitations on personal growth, Escape the Fate are an undeniable tour draw whether head-lining or supporting.

Escape the Fate formed in Pahrump, Nevada. A demo and a radio contest judged by My Chemical Romance led to a support slot with Alkaline Trio and a record deal with Epitaph. Their debut album "Dying is Your Latest Fashion" made its way into the top 20 of Billboard’s Heatseaker and Top Independent Albums charts. With the departure of lead singer Ronnie Radk, Craig Mabbit would preside over the many comings and goings of bassist Max Green and the struggles to find a record company that would appreciate their vision. Their 2010 self-titled album caught the band at their most stable and diverse, and 2014 will bring a tour with Ronnie Radke’s band, Falling in Reverse. "Ungrateful," tighter and less diverse than their self-titled major label debut, features a collaboration with Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy and a video that tackles the issue of bullying and violence. As hatchets are buried and things settling down, the future looks bright for Escape the Fate.

    amazing

    by Bobby501 on 11/4/15Crocodile Rock - Allentown

    I'm 47 years old, my son is15. We drove three and a half hours to see the show. The bands were awesome and the crowd was excited. This event had special meaning to me. 15 years ago, I was getting my life destroyed across the street at the courthouse in a custody dispute. Now I returned to Allentown 15 years later with my son, just to party. The entire show was amazing! I will remember that day forever.

    I loooove small venues!

    by vbace18 on 8/23/14The Basement - Columbus

    Devour the day opened the show and sang pretty much their whole album along with 'white rabbit' from Egypt Central days. Escape the Fate walked in and to the backstage stage in a processional. Then came out with all guns blaring! Such a great venue. Even the crowd surfers got hugs and high 5's when they landed on the stage before jumping back into the crowd. I didn't know all the lyrics but it didn't take away from an awesome time.

    ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOURS OF ALL TIME

    by Guitargreat on 7/6/12Starland Ballroom - Sayreville

    THIS WAR IS OURS TOUR was to me at first a tour that got u to go just get more money into venues and bands pockets so i didn't know what to expect. I happened to miss The First Band Secrets but when Mest came on i had doubts that this was gonna be good at all. Once The Word Alive Came on they took the whole venue to a new level.They killed it!!!. I didn't even know who they were at first but i instantly became a fan.I never Liked Attack Attack. But after seeing them live i can honestly say they won me over. THere whole stage persona and live show is something to see and something to be heard.Calebs monlouge is so uplifting u just wanna love this group.THe music was so intense live that i wanna to just freak out in the pits. FInally At the end of the night My boys ETF came in to end the show!!!.First off Their stage set was pro status. The stage looked bigger than the whole venue. Then they came out and rocked the place with a hour and 15 min grueling set.Playing Tunes Like 10 Miles Wide,Issues,Gorgeus Nightmare,G3 Aftermath you had to get into it.THe highlight was This War is Ours. RIght when they got to the wall of death part someone had passed out and they needed to stop everything so in favor to the fan they played the song again in its entirety and that happens to be my favorite song by them. Their whole show from the look their persona on stage and the songs they played was by far just incredible and i will happily go see them again anytime they come by NJ!!!

    Amazing ETF!

    by Sammieb123 on 6/18/12Starland Ballroom - Sayreville

    Escape the Fate really out-did themselves this time! This was my third time seeing ETF and they put on such an amazing show! Vocals were excellent (obviously), sound quality was great and the crowd was all in! I love ETF with all my heart and this show they put it over the top.

    Escape The Fate Wasn't So Great..

    by DerpaHErp on 6/11/12Starland Ballroom - Sayreville

    Attack Attack was AMAZING!! They communicated with the audience, and they even crowd-surfed.. So did the other 3 or 4 bands there, they reached out to their fans.. As for ETF, they just got on, sang, and got off, nothing special. they didn't ask us how we where doing, or if we where having a good time, but that's alright, i was expecting that anyways. i REALLY recommend Mest, The Word Alive, And Attack Attack, Going to see them again July 5th (:!

    Best concert I've been to!

    by Graceliz on 5/2/12Revolution Live - Ft Lauderdale

    I can honestly say that this was the best concert that I have been to, and that is a real compliment considering that I have been to many concerts and also considering the fact that the only band that I knew previously was Escape the Fate and I was not much a fan of heavy metal. Boy did this concert change my mind! To start with, the lineup was great. Secrets did a great job of getting the crowd hyped up! After that, Mest changed the mood a bit, with their softer music which provided a break from the heavier music of Secrets. Then The Word Alive brought the concert's excitement level way up higher with their heavier music, which did a good job of leading into the heavy music of Attack Attack!. Finally, Escape the Fate came on with a great entrance! Their delay in coming out really built the suspense of the crowd with the flashing red lights and the music that was playing as the crowd waited. Their set, although softer than that of Attack Attack!, packed just as much power as the other sets! Which brings me to something else that I really liked: each band was amazing! There was not one band that I was disappointed in and I found this to be very pleasing. Usually, there is at least that one band that isn't quite up to par with the others that leaves you thinking, "Oh my gosh, when are they going to finish so the band that I want to see can come on?" However, this did not happen. Even though I was not familiar with anything except for Issues, Ashley, and The Flood by Escape the Fate, I was able to dance along to the music as well as those that knew all the songs which was awesome! A lot of times when one isn't familiar with the music being played, they feel sort of lost and I did not feel like that even once during the concert. Something that I really liked as well was the trust that the band members had for us fans. They were not afraid to come right into the crowd and let their fans put their hands all over them and they were also not afraid to just hang around the lobby as everyone was either filing out or buying merchandise. I think it's really great because it puts us all on the same level in a way. It shows that they don't think they are better than us. (Hard to explain, but I think you get my point.) I think it was great that Attack Attack! and Escape the Fate included old and new songs in their sets, although I believe Escape the Fate's set could have been longer, especially considering how long Attack Attack!'s set was. I loved the speech given by Attack Attack!'s lead vocalist. I think it's safe to say that everyone was touched by that speech. I found myself really paying attention while he was talking. However, at a certain point, it became a little repetitive and lengthy. Great message nonetheless though. A message that really inspired me. For those of you that were not there, his "speech" was about not listening when people tell you that you can't do something. "Instead, go out into the world and do exactly what they said you couldn't do," was his advice. I think it was definitely a good piece of advice and definitely a good thing to talk about. It was something that I know everyone was able to relate to. As far as the crowd goes, the atmosphere was great. I found most everyone in the crowd to be very friendly. This is the first concert I've been to where people are expected to crowd surf and even told by the performers to crowd surf. Definitely a great and fun experience. I could do without the circle pits and moshing, but it was very interesting to watch nonetheless (from far away of course). To conclude, I was beyond delighted with the outcome of the show. It was worth the wait in the rain! The energy of the concert exceeded greatly that of most other concerts I've been to. How ironic that the concert with heavy metal ended up being the one I like the most out of all the concerts I've been to so far.

    A big applause to all the performers!

    by SoFlaMom on 5/2/12Revolution Live - Ft Lauderdale

    I've seen both these groups before, but this show was better (maybe because it was a Monday night, and not so packed)...Attack Attack! and Escape the Fate went out of their way to connect with their fans, and I felt both the bands and the fans won as a result. Would like to see "meet and greets" for them in our area (though, if the weather hadn't been so bad, we would have probably seen more of them around their buses before the show).

    I went to this show to see Escape the Fate (last in line up of two headlining bands). The only thing that brought the show down was the venue's sound equipment and sound set-up staff. This was not the fault of any of the bands. At one point Craig's mic (lead singer for ETF) was not even on! So they replayed a song for us once the staff got their act together... I have seen this band prior, on two separate performances, each time they were amazing! So energetic! I wish Clutch Cargos' equipment was better than what was provided for tonight's show. If you ever get the chance to see ETF live then go! You won't regret it! (Especially when Craig finds almost anything to stage dive from!) Still not convinced? The guys of this band are honest, down-to-earth guys! I have not personally met one of the newest members but I ran into new bassist TJ outside their bus and he was really friendly, he recognized me later on too. Craig stayed outside to chat with fans afterward before they left, got a picture with him and had a few minutes to talk with him myself. You definitely won't be disappointed! If you want an awesome show full of energy, see Escape the Fate!

    It was phenomenal. I only knew Escape The Fate but I was impressed with all the bands. ETF's mics weren't working for the first couple songs, but they redid one song for us. Highly reccommend seeing them. I wont miss another ETF show.

    The Word Alive, Attack Attack!, Escape the Fate

    by AnEscapetheFatefan on 4/9/12Bogart's - Cincinnati

    Bogart's was an AMAZING venue. It smelled clean, the floors weren't sticky, it wasn't too packed, the staff and bodyguards were friendly, parking was cheap and easy to find and wasn't too far a walk from the venue itself. The Word Alive performed first and got the crowd really excited for the show, there were some circle pits, but no really dangerous moshing. I was front row, and was jostled once or twice by people crowd-surfing, but nothing major. Tyler Smith got really into it and had great feedback from the crowd. His vocals were amazing with on-tune singing, and super clean screams. At one point he had a wall of death initiated, and he came into the crowd on both sides and in the middle to let the people in the front rows touch him while he sang. Attack Attack! had less enthusiasm from the crowd, but I liked Caleb's personality and thought it was really great when he ran and jumped into the crowd. He had a really clean performance (no cussing at all) and gave an inspirational speech that brought tears to my eyes. I went for Escape the Fate, though. With the performance itself, I wasn't disappointed. The crowd was chanting 'Choose Your Fate' in time with the song and made the atmosphere great for when the band came out. The new bassist, TJ (of Motionless In White), did amazing and, though I'll miss Max Green, can easily take his place. I felt like Escape the Fate didn't connect with the crowd like the other bands did. They were on stage, we were in the pit. It was like they just weren't as committed to making us feel like we were equal with them. During 'Something', Craig stopped mid-song to say "I like that poster" to me, and it made me really happy. :) Both Attack Attack! and The Word Alive stopped after their performances at the merch table to have a meet and greet with the bands. Escape the Fate did not. When the show was over, the crowd was chanting 'one more song', to no avail. I got the set list from ETF, and asked the bodyguard if he thought I could get them to sign my poster. He told me to go around the back of the building to their bus, and they would be standing there and they wouldn't mind signing my poster. I saw TJ and I called his attention, but he said "I'll be right back". He didn't come back out of the bus. I saw Craig walk around from behind it and I walked over to him and said his name several times, and touched his shoulder to try and get his attention. He was talking to some other people and a bodyguard was telling me I had to leave. He finally turned around and I asked him if he'd sign my poster. He seemed almost...offended, maybe? He just wasn't as friendly as I had hoped, and I was disappointed with that. I would go back and see them, but I won't be as excited to meet them. First impressions say a lot, and....I wasn't impressed.
